KANSAS CITY, Kan. – With their final game of the regular season looming on the horizon, the Saint Leo women's soccer team checks in at No. 6 on the latest NSCAA Division II Coaches Poll, announced Tuesday.

The Lions, who hold onto an overall record of 14-1-1, and 6-0-1 in Sunshine State Conference play, look to take down the University of Tampa Spartans (10-4-2, 4-2-1 SSC) on Thursday evening on the Spartans' home pitch. The win would clinch the SSC regular season championship for the Green and Gold, and would notch a new mark in the record books as the first regular season title in program history.
